    Early acquisition of S-specific Tfh clonotypes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is associated with the longevity of anti-S antibodies

    Xiuyuan Lu, Hiroki Hayashi ... Sho Yamasaki
    Clonotypic tracing of SARS-CoV-2–responsive T cells reveals vaccination-induced dominant Tfh clonotypes, not pre-existing T cells, associated with sustained humoral response, and can serve as an index of antigen-specific antibody longevity.
